Beijing Double Happiness Hotel - Pequim

great service, staff spoke english very well. good breakfast. 10 min walk from Dongsi subway, very handy for airport transfer. Beautiful family room.

When we first got to the hotel I was quite upset. It was in an alley, not conducive to walking around. Once the sun came up and I realized that I was in real life China, I was much happier. It was a five minute walk to the main street. Taxi's were easily available from the hotel desk, the subway was only about a 7 minute walk and once you got there […] it was an easy trip to any of the sights you would want to see. The rooms were were comfortable and quaint. Each room was set off a courtyard and was very much the old chinese architecture it promised to be. The rooms were decorated in period chinese decor. There was a small, homey restaurant bar in the hotel, with very firendly waitresses and bar tender. The reception staff could not have been nicer. If you are looking for a business hotel or a five star hotel this is not the place for you. If you want a cultural experience you could not do better. Leia mais

Loved the ambience... the warm, homey feel of the decor... the complimentary bottle of champagne on Christmas Eve The young staff were friendly and helpful, and spoke English extremely well. We stayed twice...4 nights when we arrived in China, and 2 nights on our way out. It was great coming back at the end of our trip. They even upgraded us to a beautiful […] and larger room. It was a wonderful stay and I recommend it highly. Leia mais

Very friendly welcoming staff and service. Our room felt like we were transported back one hundred years to old classic China....very comfortable rooms and own internet.

i had been staying in this hotel for 3 nights. it is a very nice place to stay. staffs are very friendly and helpful. hotel room is clean and breakfast is nice. the loaction is quite convenient.

We chose this hotel because we wanted to sample the atmosphere of the Hutongs and old Beijing rather than a modern multi-storey chain hotel. The Double Happiness Hotel was everything it promised to be: cosy, friendly, superbly located to sample that authentic Hutong atmosphere, quick walk to subway, helpful staff, clean and comfortable. Yes, the rooms […] are small and it may seem a little quirky, but that only adds to the atmosphere! We felt very comfortable here as a base to explore Beijing and I'd certainly recommend it.

My mother and I stayed for 5 nights in October and were utterly charmed by the hotel and staff. We were originally given an upstairs room that was small and a little dingy but most importantly, it was hard for my mother to climb the stairs. They switched us first thing in the a.m. to a lovely ground floor corner room on one of the courtyards. It was […] quiet, clean, and had excellent wifi access. Very nice bathroom. The breakfast is large and has many options. We ate the Chinese selections each a.m. and they were generally very good. Location was great for us because it was a regular neighborhood, not touristy at all. Great food stalls/restaurants in the alley, on the main street, and an excellent vegetarian place (Still Thoughts) a couple of blocks away. A couple of blocks to the subway but not far or hard to find at all. Most of all, the staff are so delightful. My mother lived in Beijing during the 1960s and wanted to track down her old apartment, office, etc... hard to do in a city that has changed so much! But the staff were endlessly eager to help and so kind. They really made our stay so special. Leia mais

This captivating old hotel in a Beijing Hutong (alley) offers a unique way of experiencing old China -- but with all modern luxuries. The young staff of English-speaking employees repeatedly went the extra mile in helping us resolve travel, restaurant, and shopping quandaries. This is not the Hilton, but that's what makes it such a wonderful place to […] stay. Leia mais

Great hotel located in the heart of Beijing near Dongsi Station. Staff were great, friendly and very helpful! Buffet breakfast offered good chinese and western style options. Staying in the heart of Beijing hutongs was a great experience! Sometimes a little difficult to find but otherwise, a great hotel experience - I couldn't recommend this hotel  […] more! Leia mais

Has all the chinese elements to make it a nostalgic place to stay. Location is a little hard to find but great for those who really want to experience living in a 'hutong'. Rooms are small! Try going for a suite if you have the budget. Staff are extremely friendly and rental of the bicycle makes up for the location, if you're into city cycling. Wonderful […] way to discover Beijing. Would go back, but definitely book a bigger room. Leia mais

Arrived at the hotel and even though we were early we only had to wait 5 minutes for our room to be ready...with a complimentary drink... Reception staff were great and very friendly, and a fantastic resource for tips on where to eat and what to see and do. The rooms were beautiful, the courtyard stunning and a great place to catch up with fellow […] residents. We were only there a couple of days but I would recommend it to anyone and would go back again. As we left the hotel it felt like leaving family with the whole reception and bellboy staff there to wave us off. Leia mais

We had the best ending for our Asian trip by staying at the Double Happiness Hotel in a Hutong! Everyone was so gracious! Our rooms were plenty large. They had upgraded us to a Family room and it was wonderful. We had a free internet in our room, in fact, all rooms had this. The courtyard was at our door and we enjoyed having family time there and planning […] our days. You had to almost make the Taxis take you to the door, but since, I was old and limping, I had no problems with this. The highlight of my Asian trip was getting up on the Great Wall. It is something that will always stay with me. We used Grayline tours for our pick up at the airport and the day tour to the wall. Jessica was wonderful. We think everyone should have this experience of staying in a hutong! We highly recommend Double Happiness. They seemed happy to let us out at 4 AM to meet the van to take us to the airport. Lovely people! Leia mais

We wondered where we were headed as we negotiated the dusty hutong streets but were amazed as we entered this little oasis. The staff looked beautiful, spoke good English and were helpful. the first room we were shown smelt smokey so our hostess insisted we change. The rooms are packed with Chinese antiques but there is still space to have a computer […] in each unit and a minfridge concealed under the canopy bed. The courtyards are beautiful and a good place to share experiences with other guests. There were also rooftop decks. Breakfast was a mix of asian and western. We didn't try the bar or evening meals as there was plenty to choose from in the surrounding streets. We took their recommended tour to the Great Wall and while that was breathtaking, the tour itself ( guide and meal) were substandard. The highlight of the stay for me was using the hotel's 'no gear' bicycles to cover the ground in this sprawling city. We will definitely be recommending this hotel to our friends. Leia mais

My family (2 adults + 2 teenagers) spent nearly a week at the Double Happiness in May 2011 and really enjoyed it. The hotung area, alleyway and hotel were so different to anything we've ever stayed in before and helped make our holiday in Beijing very special. The hotel is in a great location, only 10 minutes to the subway which is world class and […] very cheap. It is about 30 minutes walking distance to the Forbidden City and other main sights. The bedrooms have traditional furniture and open onto small courtyards - it's so peaceful and quiet to relax there after a hard day slogging up the Great Wall or the Forbidden City. The staff were real characters, they provided great service with a smile and sense of humour - they were very helpful advising us on local restaurants, ATMs, transport and writing addresses down in Manderin for cab drivers. The breakfast is fairly decent with a wide range of Western and Asian food. We had a fantastic holiday in Beijing and staying in Dong Chong and at the Double Happiness helped make it special.

We really enjoyed our stay at Double Happiness. Being in the hutong was fun, and very close to the subway. The beds were extremely comfy. Breakfasts were excellent. The atmosphere was very friendly with a lovely little courtyard. The rooms were lovely - red and gold satin, beautiful wood work. Recommend this place highly.

very nice traditional courtyard house made into a hotel, rooms are cozy and world class facilities. best part is the service. staff is warm and friendly and help you in every way they can. breakfast was good assortment of western and chinese platter. Only negative point i can say is in house restaurant has very limited choices.

This is a fabulous little hotel, albeit perhaps not well known. It is certainly a lovely surprise along an ordinary hutong lane. I had everything I needed and a friendly English speaking staff in a hotel with the ambience of old China. Beyond the hotel, in the tourist areas, watch out for scams by rickshaw drivers and invitations to tea service of any […] kind which will cost amounts beyond belief. Otherwise I felt quite safe and welcome. Organise airport transfers in advance. Leia mais

The hotel is located in a narrow hutong (alleyway) in dongcheng district. It is about 1/4 mile from subway so it was convenient for us to go to nearby sites, Silk Market, Temple of Heaven, Tianamen Square and Forbidden City. There aren't too many restaurants nearby we can get to many by subway for only 2RMB. Rooms are beautifully decorated with Chinese […] art. We highly recommend hotel to anyone who wants nice accommodations away from the main street and crowded downtown hotels. Leia mais

If you want to experience the real Beijing this hotel is the place to be - it is not a generic hotel which could be in any city of the world. This is the real experience of staying in a hutong over three hundred years old with all the small luxuries e.g. chocolates on pillows each afternoon, a new shower cap each day. The attention to detail is impressive […] as is the friendliness, charm and efficiency of the repection staff. A delightful, small hotel with more character than the multi-storied western style hotes located in the very sterile heart of the city. A beautiful experience from the moment we arrived to the moment we left the hotel in its quaint . narrow street. Leia mais

This hotel is very quaint with a traditional chinese atmosphere to it and has beautiful courtyards. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. We were very comfortable and the staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and very very kind. The location of the hotel within the alleys of Beijing was just lovely and we enjoyed much walking in the area. The subway […] station was very close which made visiting other parts of the city easy. I would return to the Double Happiness Hotel if I were to go back to Beijing. Leia mais

Located in one of Beijing's old alleys conveniently close to the centre, the Double Happiness hotel has stunningly beautiful courtyard rooms with all the facilities you could want. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. And excellent value.

I chose this hotel because I wanted to experience of being in China and it did not disappoint. Both the hotel and the alley it was in had amazing local character. Many small shops and excellent local restaurants. The room was small (virtually no room to hang clothes) and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The […] only problem was that I never could get hot water in the shower, so in that sense I'm glad I was there only two days. Leia mais

I was looking for a hotel that would provide more of a cultural experience that the standard western hotel. I spent 4 nights here the end of November 2009. The desk staff all spoke English and were very helpful. The room was small, but beautifully decorated including a huge fan on the wall and bamboo covered walls. There was a large flat screen TV. […] I received all my wake-up calls (this hasn't always happened in the US). The mattress was very firm, but quite comfortable. A huge breakfast buffet was included, with lots of Chinese dishes, as well as some pastries, fruit, and a few western dishes. The mattress was very firm, but quite comfortable. There is also a lounge/bar. This hotel is an easy walk to the subway, which goes to many of the tourist sights. I loved my room at the Double Happiness Hotel. Leia mais

A well located hotel,although the street it is on isn't that appealing to those not looking to see the real China. Very clean and well presented. Beds were comfortable but quite hard (Usual in this country evidently!). Breakfast buffet provided a real taste of China but also had toast etc! Staff were very helpful and wrote down the names of places in […] the chinese characters for us to show taxi drivers to enable us to get around. I'd stay again. Leia mais

This hotel was amazing, it lived up to all my expectations and more! The atmosphere of the hotel in general and also the room were calm and serene, and very chinese. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and spoke excellent english. The breakfast was a vast and varied mixture of western and chinese buffet. The courtyards were quiet and […] secluded. I was sad to leave and will definitely use this hotel next time I am in Beijing, and hope that will be soon! Leia mais

The double happiness hotel is a beautiful courtyard hotel offering respite from the hustle and bustle of Beijing. My only complaint was that it was very difficult to find. It would be helpful if the site offered more detailed directions. My advice is to go to the webpage of the hotel and copy thier directions and phone number. Lost taxi drivers […] are quick to make calls when their limited English fails. Leia mais

My stay in the Traditional Chinese Single Room was perfectly suited to my needs. The hotel has wonderful helpful Staff at the front desk, FREE Internet for the guests to use, a big breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, cable flatscreen TV (though the only US Channels were CNN and Cinemax). Many good restaurants are nearby and my room was attractive and […] perfect for my rest. Leia mais

The 'Double Happiness Hotel' is right in the middle of a Beijing Hutong. This makes it difficult to find but also gives it considerable character. It is reasonably close to the centre, a subway station, shops and plenty of interesting local restaurants. The rooms are full of beautiful furniture, the courtyards are delightful and the staff friendly, […] helpful and speak some english. All this at a very reasonable price... definitely a hotel to go back to. Leia mais

ホテル周辺にお店がありいつでも買い物できるが、値段は高め。賑やかで夜遅くでも帰りやすい・・・ケド地下鉄から遠いので不便。歩いて15-20分。 日本語が話せる人は1人で、他の方は英語も微妙に通じない。 室内は最低限の綺麗さ☆暖房はよく効いている 床暖房！喫煙者は外での喫煙になるのが寒くて面倒でつらかった。 隣の出入りの音が結構聞こえたし、従業員の出入りもちょっとうるさかった

Hotellet svarte absolutt til forventningene. Det var et sjarmerende hotell med autentisk kinesisk interiør. Personalet var vennlige, behjelpelige og snakket godt engelsk! Jeg hadde ingenting å si på renhold eller service. Det var ikke spesiellt dyrt, og internett og frokost var inkludert. Frokosten var god og variert. Hotellet lå i umiddelbar nærhet […] av t-banen, og det var lett å ta seg derfra til de fleste severdigheter. Banken lå på vei til banen. Om man er ute etter luksus,er nok kanskje ikke dette hotellet et førstevalg. Men dersom en vil ha en smak av gamle Kina, grei komfort og ikke vil betale alt for mye, er dette courtyardhotellet midt i blinken. Jeg var i hvertfall storfornøyd. Leia mais

酒店基本設備尚算o.k., 例如: 上網, 衛生間用品, 茶水等, 房間仿古造型都數配合四合院風格, 但未夠精緻及家俬擺設比較舊, 而且庭院環境空間不足夠, 未能令人置身於老北京四合院的感覺. 不過, 酒店員工服務質數很好, 主動, 熱諴, 笑容滿臉, 這是我最欣賞的地方.

３泊しましたが、毎日きちんと部屋の掃除がされていて清潔でした。四合院風で部屋もみんな違う造りのようです。それぞれの部屋にはパソコンがあり、インターネットが無料で使えました。 フロントの方々はみなさん英語が堪能で、とても親切で安心でした。 朝食はバイキングスタイルで包子やお粥など中国風のものもありおなかいっぱい食べれます。 ホテル自体は素敵で大満足でした！ こちらに掲載されている地図は全然違います。 地図には東四六条と七条の間になっていますが、 実際には東四四条の通りにあります。 地下鉄「東四」駅より徒歩１０分なのですが、私はこの地図で迷子になり、駅から２時間もかかってしまいました。 みなさんも気をつけて下さい。

中庭のある四合院タイプのホテルで味わいがあり、ホテルでのんびり過ごしたくなる。部屋は同じツインでもいろいろなタイプがあり、少々手狭な部屋と広い部屋があり、どこが当たるかは運次第のようだ。 スタッフはみなフレンドリーで気持ちがよい。また朝食はこじんまりはしているがブッフェスタイルで、中華、洋食の両方がカバーされている。おすすめは当然中華。 各部屋およびロビーに無料インターネットサービスがあるのも嬉しい。無料サービスのミネラルウォーターが部屋に2本付いているが、足りなければフロントで追加を貰える。 車はホテルの前につけるために細い道を入る必要があるので、出先で拾うタクシーの運転手がこのホテルに行くのを嫌がることが多いのが唯一の難点だが、地下鉄駅までは徒歩10分弱なので、さほど不便ではない。

4泊しましたが、常にお掃除担当の方が居ました。 どのスタッフも会うと声をかけてくれて親しみやすかったです。 とにかくすべてのお部屋が素敵で、北京に滞在のときは常宿にして、すべての部屋を制覇したいくらいです。 部屋にパソコンもあるので気軽にネットが出来て満足。 朝食はアメリカ人に合わせた朝食ですね。 おかゆが充実してたら満点です。 ホテルの通りにはお店があって、大きな通りに出なくても飲み物や食事も出来るのであんしんです。 また、絶対泊まりたくなるホテルです。

Das Hotel ist kein Business-Hotel mit Sauna, Pool, fancy Hotelbar usw. Wer das will, muss sich in einem der großen Hotels z.B. an der Wangfujang Street einquartieren (und dort dann einen um das 2- bis 3-fache höheren Zimmerpreis bezahlen). Dafür ist das Double Happiness ein Hotel mit Charakter und Charme, authentisch und liebevoll eingerichtet, mit […] freundlichem, Englisch sprechendem Personal und guter Lage in einem der wenigen noch verblieben Pekinger Hutongs. Beim ersten Besuch nimmt man am Besten ein Taxi, denn auf eigene Faust ist das Hotel nur sehr schwer zu finden. Wenn man sich aber erst einmal orientiert hat, kann man die Stadt in weiterer Folge durchaus auch per U-Bahn erkunden, vom Hotel aus liegt die nächste Station nur 10 Min. entfernt. Leia mais

Autentic neighborghhood, nice and helpfull staff. Close to subway.

The hotel is just fantastic for a couple. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is about the size although the sound of bed is a little bit while we are rolling on it with fun. The decoration is full of smell of history just fantastic. The surrounding area is about the same standard in the huge city with quite friendly looking. Certainly, the […] police station is near by. The fried meat is fantastic also. The nearby restaurant is also local with fairly good quality The only problem is the breakfast is not good enough as a standard of Asia. The traffic condition from the airport MRT station to hotel is awful as the taxi drivers are NOT willing to go by meters. This should be damned by the city government. You can book the taxi which is above the average from the hotel to get you to the hotel. As for the hotel, I will definitely come back. I miss the room to be shared with my lover with great love.

Hyggeligt lille kinesisk hotel midt i en Hutong, der giver en rar følelse af at bo midt mellem lokalbefolkningen. Værelserne er indrettet i kinesisk stil og vender ud til en gårdhave med dejlig ro. Morgenmaden er frisk og ny lavet med mange retter. Personalet i receptionen taler engelsk og er meget hjælpsomme. VI boede der i en uge og var yderst ti […] lfredse. Leia mais

If you would like to feel the genuine Chinese atmosphere this is the place for you. It is located in the middle of a hutong (alley) in downtown with very good communications. The buildings are 250 years old and built as a courtyard and this may be the reason why the rooms are very small compared to European standard. Despite the very central location […] it’s an absolute quiet place. After spending the last 5 years travelling and living in different hotels I must say this is one of the best ever. Regarding the staff and their willingness to help and support you can’t find this level in the best 5 star hotels in Europe, it was more like a family atmosphere. When checking in Google earth I could find 2 different hotels with the same name in Beijing so please watch up so you don’t end up in the wrong one. I booked the “grand lit” which probably is the biggest room beside the suites but 2 people could hardly meet. Last night I got a bigger one more spacey, but obviously the same class as before. One very nice thing is that the room had a PC with free internet access but the connection speed was very slow and I was not able to sign in to Yahoo mail as example. You don’t need an adapter for power supply as the outlets both have the Chinese and European standard. The very narrow and half dark alley might be a little scary to some people but it is a very safe place with friendly people and small shops and surrounded by 2 police stations. The area is called Dongsi consisting of 10 different alleys named from 1-10 but in Chinese so if you learn to count in Chinese it’s easy to know where you are, this alley is called Donsi Si Tiao (Dongsi 2:nd street). It can be a little bit tricky to get there by taxi (about 85 Yuan from airport including 10 Yuan in toll) because of the narrow alley, but I strongly recommend the subway as the easiest and fastest communication as the traffic is crazy with 5 million cars and countless bikers and scoter drivers apparently without traffic rules.

スタッフの方々がとてもフレンドリーで 快適な滞在ができるホテルでした 四合院は北京の古都の情緒が楽しめました NHKも含めて日本のTVが入らなかったので 日本の情報はネットからになりましたが 部屋に無料PCがあり問題ありませんでした 無料の無線LANもあるのでPCを持ち込めば更に快適だと思います Hotels.comのメールについていた地図上のポイントが間違っていてかなり迷いました もう少し調べて情報の精度を上げてからいくべきでした 住所の情報は正しいです（東四　四条　37） 地下鉄の最寄り駅は東四駅になります

Ett lite äldre hotell centralt beläget som ger en väldigt genuin kinesisk känsla. Första intrycket, trång, lite trist bakgata försvinner helt av mottagandet när man kommer in i hotellet. Ett vänligt bemötande och hjälpsamhet av personalen på hotellet under hela vistelsen. Visst kan man exteriört och på innergårdarna liksom terassen märka visst slitage, […] men det är rent och vilken atmosfär! Rummen är mysiga och känns väldigt kinesiska i sin utformning och möblering men innehåller allt som man kan tänkas behöva. Städningen var exemplarisk. Frukost buff'én även den väldigt kinesisk och god men innehöll ändå yoghurt, cornflakes, stekt ägg, bacon och korv, färsk frukt ,rostat bröd mm så även en "kräsen" västerlänning överlever utan problem. Kaffet var dock svagt , så vi köpte nescafe och blandade i till lagom styrka. Med en guidebok eller karta med kinsesiska benämningar på sevärdheter är det inget problem att åka taxi, vilket är väldigt billigt. De flesta sevärdheterna ligger inom en 15-20 min resväg från hotellet. Hotellpersonalen hjälper också till och skriver upp adresser och meddelanden att visa för taxichaufförer. Glöm inte visitkortet från hotellet när du åker ut på stan att visa upp när du vill åter till hotellet. Enklaste sättet att ta taxi är att gå ut på huvudgatorna i vardera änden av hotellgatan och sträcka upp handen och visa vart man vill åka. Efter en dag ute i staden är det skönt att njuta av lugnet på bakgården eller på terassen. Även "trist bakgata" måste jag omvädera efter att ha promenerat den ett par gånger. Den har det mesta, specerivaror, tobak, frisör, cykelreparatör, flera matställen. En promenad runt kvarteret är en upplevelse och känns väldigt genuint, fjärran från de turistiska och moderna delarna av staden. Leia mais

Sehr nette Hotelcrew, die sich alle Mühe macht, die Gäste zufrieden zustellen. Die guten Englischkenntnisse helfen den Besuchern, sich gut zu orientieren. Klasse Zimmer und tolles Frühstück runden den Service ab.

Mysigt hotell med stark atmosfär. Det enda minuset var restaurangen som inte rikigt håller. Jag uppskattade särskillt den historiska miljön och lugnet.

The location is great. It is safe (police office is just 50 m away), authentic, very beautifully decorated traditional chinese inn. Very helpful. Don't miss a peking duck place nearby, dodung or something, just 15 min walk.
